re: AI is becoming more and more photo-realistic

To me it isn’t about telling the difference. It is about unlocking cinema to the entire world. The fact it costs millions of dollars to make a decent movie inherently coalesces the marketplace of ideas to a small hive mind group in Hollywood. Sure, occasionally a small budget or decent movie slips through, but those are the exceptions.
I embrace this because it allows individual creative teams to build a story and put it in the marketplace. The audience then gets to decide what they want to see.
In nearly every movie that is produced today, my world view is mocked, belittled or “challenged” in a way that completely misrepresents the belief.
If AI is what eliminates the gatekeeping of Hollywood, I say bring it on.
Independent studios make low budget films fairly often (hell, that's how we got A24 as a studio). You don't need AI to do that. Pretty sure the Daily Wire is covering that content you're looking for as well.
You asked what makes is soulless? It's the lack of "human" expression in the emotion expressed on screen in AI content. It's almost too "clean". It misses the nuance of an actual human performing. It's the same thing you see in overly CGI'd work.
It's in the same way you can look at a cookie cutter suburban house and tell that it's just a prefab. There's no character to it.

RIP Hollywood.
AI is now 100% photorealistic with the launch of Kling 3.0
In just two days, I created the opening sequence from The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
Congrats, no one cares. And it looks like crap honestly

A few posts after your a guy says that in a few years a person will be able to put into a prompt "Make The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson into a movie" and AI will do it.
What kind of genius creative team is that? It's some dork online with no talent that can put into a prompt "Combine Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and make it movie". Wow, cool idea genius! What a creative mind that 14 year old is.
It is literally hindering creativity. AI has it's uses, but I will never at any point watch an AI movie no matter how real it looks or what "creative" two sentence prompt some loser like in the OP's tweet came up with because if it's stopping creative minds from actually writing good stuff.
Same goes for a book or author, I'd never read a book written by AI and I'd stop reading an author if I found out he was using AI to help write his books.

Feels very akin to the era of dorks telling us that their crypto monkey jpeg was going to be the future of world currency a couple years back.

It’s awesome what it can do compared to what it used to do, but that is fricking awful compared to what a decent Hollywood movie is.
From script to editing, from lighting to acting, it is not that it is “soulless” as others have said (though it is), it’s that it is, as the kids say, “slop.” It is not creative. It is boring. It is without an understanding of art as it is simply reproducing things done by previous creators in a bad way. Art is not recreation. It is creation. And though art is the ability to hide one’s sources, it still takes the old and transforms it into the new, with a new vision and a new sensibility.
This is just putting shite in RENDR

Looks like another action/super hero, villian movie, which we have a gazillion of. I guess it will make the creator some decent money instead of trying to have a major company greenlight it with tens of millions of dollars. Real film will survive in some way. And the films will be better.
Its the opening chapter to Way of Kings, which the series it is from, Stormlight Archive, was optioned for production by AppleTV last week in a massive unprecedented deal.

So in another 750 days he will have most of the first book done.

If anyone believes that giving the keys to production over to conservative "creators" will usher in an age of great works, history says otherwise. Sure, you'll get movies espousing your worldview, but they'll be of the same basic ilk put out by the existing conservative studios. The creative side of Hollywood isn't run by liberals because of some political takeover or secret cabal. It's because creative people are (by and large) liberals.
You are operating under the premise that the content creators I'm arguing for aren't actually boxed out, because a mega church in Georgia funded boomer unrealistic Christian films. That's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for real life, in a film, without political "slop" thrown in my face. Christian studios in a lot of cases don't present a real world view either, yet only a super rich protestant church actually has the means to produce these films.
You are correct that creatives tend to be more liberal on the spectrum. That has pretty much always been the case. What has happened in the past 15 years that our culture struggles to produce a movie without in your face political propaganda or that conflicts with the foundation of western culture?

And with AI, you're conceding that for you to be an artist, you have to steal from the liberals, gays, and blacks that created the pool of art that you're looting from. Which (if you can rationalize past that) is the perfect formula to make money or to distort creative reality to fit your needs.
Anyone can be an artist, but a good artist communicates the human experience. Movies didn't start being created in 2020. Art didn't start being created in 2020.

A24 still spends tens of millions of dollars producing films. The Daily Wire nearly went bankrupt because Jeremy Boreings theatrical ambitions and they hardly produced anything.

Okay so one aspect of the movie is soulless. What about the writing, the music and even the voices in some cases? If someone uses techno beats in a movie is the movie now soulless because the music was made by a computer?

What you are describing and what I am describing are two entirely different things. I am simply talking about creative thinkers, with a script, who currently feel boxed out of their opportunity, now having an avenue to produce their work without having to convince someone to invest 5 million dollars.

Exactly, and how much did it cost the guy in OP to make this vs what it will end up costing Apple?
Like I said, this is a baby’s first step. Nobody in this thread seems to be thinking about how fast this is all progressing

Funny you say this, because from what I’ve seen the past few years it’s been the liberals, gays, and blacks that have been looting the pool of art to put their own messages in

You completely missed the point. The Brandon Sanderson stuff is already being made. It may be good and accurate to the books, it may not. There hasn’t been a lot of stuff coming out recently that makes me want to give them the benefit of the doubt that it won’t be changed significantly from the books. If someone is disappointed, they will likely be able to just have it made for themselves and be satisfied. Honestly, I’d like to be able to do something like that for any number of properties that have been fricked up or will never get made because of the Hollywood execs that are more concerned about making their money.
This board has bitched and moaned countless times over the years about various shows or movies that have been ruined (Star Wars, Game of Thrones, etc) by Hollywood. How many upvotes have you seen on some random landshark drunken fan service rant about how game of thrones should’ve gone? He could make that happen now

This was a meme you’re making a bigger deal out of than it is.

I'd guess that's exactly what the people in this thread are thinking about. And how that's not good for anybody outside of the tech bros who own the companies.

The fact that it isn’t real makes it soulless. Our brains tell us that. It’s not ever going to be a human giving off human emotions.
I’m in advertising. AI has made my job infinitely easier and it’s going to open up a lot more opportunities. I actually use it in commercials but very sparingly. My plan is to increase the usage for better production value. So I’m not against it, but when there’s a need for a human element with storytelling, AI can’t ever provide that even though what the actors are doing is fake. We’re already seeing a pushback for more authenticity in certain spaces.

Doesn’t seem like it because everyone is acting like this is the peak and it’s still “ai slop.” Get used to it now because how are you or will anyone for that matter stop it?

1) Social media algorithms will go a long way to determine it. If they think it keeps people on their platforms, they’ll reward it. If people start engaging more with authentic content, they will start keeping it out of people’s feeds.
2) Will government step in to regulate it considering its destructive and manipulative potential?

It looks terrible.
